Easter in the Wine Country
For years, Baja California has been synonymous with spring break festivities, but there’s a more nuanced side to this region that promises unique experiences away from the usual tourist hubs. Easter in Baja isn’t just about sun and sea; it’s also a time to indulge in the region’s rich and diverse cultural offerings. One such hidden gem is the annual Easter egg hunt at En’Kanto winery, nestled in the picturesque Guadalupe Valley. This delightful event invites families to explore the sprawling vineyards and engage in festive activities that include meeting heritage chickens that produce the winery’s signature rainbow eggs.
Historically, Easter eggs symbolize new life, a tradition that traces back to Pagan festivals heralding the arrival of spring. Over centuries, this practice evolved to include vibrant egg hunts, a tradition popularized in Germany by Martin Luther in the 16th century.
Cassie, a local poultry enthusiast, plays a central role in cultivating an enchanting environment with her collection of purebred chickens. Her passion for these exquisite birds manifests in her detailed care routines, including feeding strategies and breeding schedules, all aimed at producing vibrant eggs and preserving distinct breeds. Visitors to the winery can enjoy fresh omelets made from these eggs, while exploring the artistic landscape of ancient granite boulders and blooming vineyards.
Venture off the beaten path and discover the vibrant life that thrives in the serene beauty of Baja’s wine country. Enjoy wine tasting and dining among citrus groves and old growth trees, a paradise for those seeking a peaceful getaway. If you decide to visit, be sure to mention that Martina sent you. En’Kanto winery is open from Friday to Sunday.
