**Easter in Baja’s Wine Country**
Baja California has long held the reputation as a go-to spot for Spring break revelers. However, over the years, its image has evolved, offering visitors more than just margaritas. True travelers who venture off the beaten path will discover Baja’s hidden treasures. One such delight is the Easter celebration at the picturesque En’Kanto Winery in Guadalupe Valley, a short drive through serene grapevines and orange groves. This charming winery hosts an annual community Easter egg hunt, attracting families far and wide.
En’Kanto is home to a farm of purebred heritage chickens, famed for their exquisite rainbow-colored eggs. While the tradition of Easter eggs has ancient roots, its association with Easter as a symbol of new life became prominent in the 16th century. Today, children worldwide delight in the joyous egg hunt.
Cassie, a friend of the vineyard owners Tom and Eva, has transformed her curiosity for fresh breakfast eggs into a thriving purebred chicken farm. The farm is a lively spectacle, with colorful hens and elegant, diverse plumage—akin to a living art exhibit. Cassie embraces her role as a “Poulterer” with humorous titles, such as Chief Hen’Kanto Officer and Madam Hatch-a-lot, and enthusiastically manages her expanding flock.
Beyond egg production, Cassie finds joy in breeding distinctive chicken varieties, with plans to introduce new Polish breeds soon. Her ongoing “Chicken Math” keeps the meticulous breeding and hatching schedules in check.
For those visiting, the tantalizing opportunity to taste fresh omelets made from these special eggs amidst breathtaking natural settings awaits. The granite boulders, flourishing vineyards, lush citrus groves, and charming outdoor dining create an enchanting environment to relish wine and delectable cuisine.
