### Easter Celebrations in Baja’s Wine Country
For many years, Baja California has been synonymous with spring break getaways. However, the region has evolved, offering a lot more than just margaritas and beaches. For those adventurous enough to stray from the well-trodden path, Baja unveils countless hidden gems. Among these treasures is the unique Easter celebration at En’Kanto Winery, nestled amidst the grape vines and orange groves of Guadalupe Valley.
Each Easter, En’Kanto Winery organizes a community egg hunt, turning the vineyard into a premier destination for families looking to celebrate in an authentic way. Interestingly, Baja California boasts one of the rare purebred chicken breeding farms. The farm’s ‘heritage chickens’ are renowned for their beautiful rainbow-colored eggs, adding a magical touch to the festivities.
The tradition of the Easter egg has historical roots intertwined with ancient celebrations of new life. Decorative egg hunts can be traced back to 16th-century Germany where it was introduced by Martin Luther. Fast forward to today, children worldwide delight in finding these hidden treasures during Easter.
Cassie, an enthusiastic poultry breeder at the farm, shared her journey of establishing a purebred chicken farm to enjoy fresh eggs and, eventually, create a whole new lifestyle. With a playful grin, she introduced me to the humor behind poultry farming, showcasing amusing titles like Chief Hen’Kanto Officer and La Cluckadora. Her adventure began simply for fresh breakfast eggs but quickly grew into a full-fledged breeding operation focused on producing unique, vibrant chickens.
The breeding process involves crucially timed efforts, including collecting fertilized eggs for incubation. With a careful eye on breeding schedules, Cassie plans to introduce a new Polish breed she’s excited about. Despite the challenges, including expensive feed, her passion and humor shine through, making her part of a small but growing community of purebred chicken enthusiasts in Baja.
Beyond poultry, the winery offers a stunning natural landscape, marked by ancient granite boulders and seasonal transformation of vineyards. Visitors can relish the site’s homecooked delicacies or simply admire the changing vistas of the vineyards and citrus groves.
For those intrigued by this unique slice of life in Baja California, En’Kanto Winery promises a delightful experience every Friday through Sunday. Be sure to mention that Martina sent you!
