### Celebrate Easter in Baja California’s Wine Country
For many years, Baja California has been a popular destination for spring breakers, but its image is evolving. Today, it offers much more than its famed margaritas, attracting travelers who are keen to explore beyond the traditional tourist paths. This Easter season, add a little adventure to your itinerary with a visit to the En’Kanto winery, nestled among the tranquil grapevines and orange groves of Guadalupe Valley. Here, the annual Easter egg hunt draws both locals and tourists, featuring heritage chickens known for their colorful eggs.
Historically, the egg has been a symbol of new life, linked to spring and Easter traditions. Martin Luther introduced the concept of the egg representing resurrection, turning it into a delightful hunt for children worldwide. This tradition comes alive at En’Kanto, where visitors are also introduced to the rare purebred chickens at one of Baja’s few breeding farms. These chickens, lovingly referred to as the “Chief Hen’Kanto Officer” and “Madam Hatch-a-lot,” offer a humorous yet fascinating glimpse into poultry life.
Cassie, the poultry enthusiast behind the farm, shares the joys and challenges of raising purebred chickens. Her dedication extends to intricate breeding plans and managing “Chicken Math,” a humorous term for the rapidly increasing number of chickens one might end up with, starting from just a few. Her farm is not only a producer of rainbow eggs but also a source of purebred chicks, bringing joy to local residents and visitors.
The vineyard itself is a spectacle year-round. The landscape features ancient granite boulders, lush citrus groves, and a vineyard that transforms beautifully with each season. Whether you’re tasting wine or indulging in an omelet crafted from freshly laid eggs, En’Kanto provides a serene and unique getaway in Baja’s wine country. If you find yourself here, mention that Martina sent you to this wonderful hidden gem, open from Friday to Sunday.
