**Easter Celebrations in Baja’s Wine Country**
Baja California, once famed for its Spring Break atmosphere, offers much more today for the discerning traveler willing to veer off typical tourist paths. This Easter, visitors can experience a unique celebration amidst the scenic beauty of the Guadalupe Valley.
Nestled among the grapevines and citrus trees is the charming En’Kanto winery, which hosts an annual Easter egg hunt. This delightful event also includes a visit to the winery’s special heritage chicken farm, a rarity in Baja, where you can see their classy hens known for producing colorful eggs. The chickens’ vibrant plumage is a sight to behold, resembling a living art gallery, with shades ranging from iridescent blacks to rusty reds.
The tradition of Easter eggs dates back centuries as a symbol of new life, first recorded in 16th-century Germany. This age-old custom has been joyously embraced worldwide, with Baja California adding its unique twist through community celebrations like the En’Kanto egg hunt.
Cassie, a local poultry enthusiast at the winery, shares her passion for breeding purebred chickens. Known colloquially as “Chicken Math,” what starts with a few birds can quickly grow into a full-fledged breeding operation. Cassie delights in this pursuit, collecting eggs for incubators and ensuring the breeding of specialty breeds, all while maintaining a sense of humor about the unpredictable journey.
Beyond the Easter festivities, the En’Kanto winery offers year-round pleasures. Visitors can indulge in wine tastings amidst breathtaking natural landscapes or savor home-cooked meals crafted with fresh ingredients, including eggs from their very own hens.
When planning your visit, make sure to enjoy an omelet made with these special rainbow eggs, and do mention that Martina recommended the trip. The winery welcomes guests from Friday to Sunday and promises a truly memorable experience.
