**Easter Celebrations in the Wine Country**
Baja California, traditionally known as a hotspot for spring break revelers, is offering a refreshing change for those willing to explore beyond the typical tourist trails. The enchanting Guadalupe Valley, with its picturesque vineyards and citrus orchards, is quickly becoming a favorite destination for those seeking unique holiday experiences. One such event is the Easter egg hunt hosted by En’Kanto Winery, a charming site nestled among the serene hills.
En’Kanto’s annual Easter egg hunt captivates both visitors and locals alike, with the bonus of meeting their prized purebred chickens. These hens are known for their strikingly colorful eggs, adding an extra layer of fun to the Easter tradition. The history of the Easter egg is rooted in ancient symbols of new life, a tradition that dates back to the 13th century and was popularized further by Martin Luther in 16th century Germany.
The passion for purebred poultry led Cassie, a friend of winery owners Tom and Eva, to dive headfirst into the world of chicken breeding. Cassie’s witty take on the lifestyle of a “Poulterer” sees her sporting T-shirts with humorous slogans, fully embracing her role in this intricate world. Her farm is alive with a vibrant mix of fancifully feathered birds, from riotously colored roosters to hens donned in Dr. Seuss-like fashion.
Cassie’s farm is among the few breeding purebred chickens in Baja California. Despite challenges like soaring feed costs, she meticulously manages her flock, crafting ideal breeding pairs to ensure the continuation of pure breeds. Her dedication has sparked a growing local interest in these specialty birds, both for pets and for their eggs.
The natural beauty surrounding the vineyard adds immense charm. Towering granite boulders and lush vineyards create an idyllic backdrop for wine tastings and outdoor dining, where guests can savor dishes made with eggs from Cassie’s exquisite hens. This hidden gem offers an inviting Easter experience for those willing to venture off the beaten path.
