**Easter Delights in Baja California’s Wine Country**
Baja California is not just a Spring break paradise; it’s a hidden gem offering unique experiences off the beaten path. The region now boasts a spectacular Easter celebration amid its stunning landscapes. This Easter, guests are invited to join the cherished tradition of an Easter egg hunt at En’Kanto winery located in the picturesque Guadalupe Valley. Guests can drive through the serene grapevines and orange groves to discover this delightful festival, complete with a visit to the winery’s heritage chicken farm.
The age-old tradition of Easter egg hunts has deep roots, tracing back to 16th century Germany, where Martin Luther introduced the egg as a symbol of life and resurrection. Today, this tradition brings joy to children worldwide as they search for colorful eggs hidden in the grass.
At En’Kanto, visitors are in for a treat with their heritage chickens, bred for their unique rainbow-colored eggs. Cassie, the mastermind behind this delightful endeavor, humorously embraces her role as a “poulterer.” Her farm showcases a variety of dazzling chicken breeds, each with striking plumage and irresistible charm. Despite the challenges, such as rising feed prices and managing surplus roosters, Cassie’s passion remains unwavering. She humorously refers to her ever-expanding flock as “Chicken Math,” a nod to those who find themselves increasingly enamored with chicken breeding.
The vineyard offers more than just a sight of beautiful poultry. With stunning granite boulders, lush groves, and vibrant vineyards, visitors are encouraged to savor the moments over a glass of wine. The on-site restaurant also offers an array of home-cooked treats and, of course, omelets made from fresh eggs from the farm’s hens. En’Kanto opens its doors every Friday through Sunday, calling on all travelers to experience a truly festive Easter off the beaten path.
