a little bit sweet too which i love  this is a really really nice wine

come on in we are going to give you  a tour of this cabin in the woods  

good morning good morning world hello greetings  from Tatamagouche Nova Scotia Canada greetings yes  

we have come to Tatamagouche apparently the  name means meeting of the waters so here we  

are we're going to be spending the day here so  a 15-minute drive from our rural little cabin  

yeah i have been loving the cabin we're staying  in we're right in the woods yeah and yet the town  

is just a short drive away yeah it's the  best of both worlds we get the the rural  

experience where we're staying and then we also  have the services of a cute little town nearby  

and there's quite a bit to do here there's a  creamery to visit there's a brew house to visit  

there's also what was the other thing there's  a winery you want to visit oh the winery yeah  

the winery which is but that's not in this  town that's that's continuing north but  

the main thing is that there's a train  that you can stay overnight in and also  

potentially have a meal and also where we're  staying we're close to an old gristmill a  

provincial park there's a maple farm a maple  sugar farm where you can buy maple products it's  

amazing there's just so much to do in and around  this area so i mean we're just gonna try and see  

and do as much as we can today also enjoy our  cabin experience too so it's best of both worlds

guys so we have walked down to the creamery  square heritage society lots to do here we're  

just visiting on the wrong day it would appear  so basically here you have a farmer's market  

on saturdays on saturdays there's the creamery  building there's a general store general store and  

an art center art center and there's a bandstand  where apparently they put on performances  

and you can listen to music yeah now all of  the buildings have very different schedules  

but it seems like saturday is the day to be here  yeah so if you visit Tatamagouche Nova Scotia  

make it on a weekend because it just  looks super cool like i'd love to go  

into these buildings and just browse through  the different vendors the shops yeah i agree  

even though even though we couldn't go inside  it was just fascinating to walk down here and  

take pictures yeah also it's it's at a great  location like just meters away from the river  

so it is a windy day let's acknowledge the wind  let's acknowledge the wind hello hello wind

cool find of the day we're on the trans-canada  trail we are who would have thought that that  

is amazing i mean that's the national trail  line i know it's enormous coast to coast  

exactly this is a great little trail  and as you can see by this train sign  

we're just moments away from being at  the train accommodation and restaurant so  

i mean it's gonna be awesome we're hoping to have  lunch there hoping it's open fingers crossed i  

don't want to be over two this morning but um this  is a wonderful trail great for for walking also  

great for biking we've seen a lot of people using  it we saw someone walking their dog we also saw  

people on their bikes and so yeah question for  you would you ever bike the trans canada trail  

or a portion of it i'd love to and my dad would  enjoy that even more he's more of a biker than me  

so that would be an awesome trip oh that could  be a future yeah father's day you need to budget  

to budget like probably half a year for that  starting the spring finish in the fall right  

okay so we came to the train station we're not  able to dine in the wagons at the moment but  

they have a lovely outdoor seating area so we got  some food from take out i got the fish cakes how  

do those look it looks real good let's see you  want to check those out yum oh wow oh wow and  

you got uh chips and salsa yeah homemade chips  and salsa on the side oh you get a little bun  

it looks like a little scone you ended up getting  

you got the beans you got the maple beans  maple syrup beans oh that looks real good  

and i got a pulled pork sandwich another  impressive looking meal that's a bit of coleslaw  

some chips and salsa yum fantastic looking lunch  huh yum yum yum yum yum yum oh that looks awesome  

looks so good comfort food here at the train  station huh uh-huh gotta love that um is it mm-hmm  

what kind of a sauce is it sweet barbecue  oh yum look at that it feels perfect  

it was perfect with a kind of a sandwich  oh yeah um that is garlic cream is it  

raw garlic my friends nothing better this is  just an amazing experience like adam a goose guys  

sam and i are already talking about how we  need to come back and book a night on the train  

we seriously i don't know why we didn't  do that we'll literally do that sometime  

yeah yeah it'll be one of the most unique days  we'll have ever had for sure for sure super pumped  

to try mcniel i mean one of the my favorite  foods in the maritimes and this dates back to  

my childhood when my grandmother used to make me  homemade beans often made with maple or molasses  

they are just i'd rather have that than a dessert  they're so sweet and delicious and so for us to  

have homemade maple beans it's fantastic but  before i try those i'm going to try the main  

thing that we ordered here which is the fish  cakes so it's potato fish and parsley flakes and  

i have a feeling you're meant to dip it into this  it's kind of like a chutney isn't it look at that  

this really has a nice soft  texture to it in your mouth  

really tasty what i'm most interested in  is trying these maple beans look at these  

guys i'm going to stir that around for  you just you can see how thick that is  

i think that's probably one of the most  canadian dishes ever beans never syrup ever yeah

oh pure maple syrup in there  

i'd rather have this than a slice of cheesecake  that's how good it is to me it tastes like a  

dessert even though it's um it's served with the  the main portion of a meal it's just so sweet and  

i mean it's also salted too it just checks off  so many boxes ultimate comfort food in my opinion

what a lunch just love the  setting the food was fantastic  

and yeah just where we ended up parking  we were kind of on the opposite end of  

the town so we were able to walk along the main  street and we noticed some really cool places  

we're honestly not going to have time to visit  because we still want to go to the winery  

we want to go hiking and we want to go to  maybe some mills and maybe the the maple  

syrup production place but what we did notice  was there was a mario pizza place there's also  

a chocolate here some artisanal ice cream and the  chowder house who could forget the chowder house  

so plenty to do in this town we've just got an  afternoon to do all the stuff we still want to do

more

okay guys so we made it to yoast vineyards and  we're doing a little wine tasting here you can try  

three different wines for free um i'm going  for all whites sam's going to be doing all  

reds and then we're going to choose  our favorites get a bottle for my dad  

and yeah so right now i'm trying the pinot grigio  cheers that's good that's very light i like that  

that type of wine yeah all right number two  going for another white title day cheers

oh that's good yeah i get a bit of a like a pear  

aroma no yeah this is the one i tried in halifax  at one of the restaurants i don't remember which  

one anymore maybe the bicycle theme that's the  one maybe yes that's where you had it one of my  

all-time favorites last but not least last  but not least number three selkie sure cheers  

yeah i do feel the bubbles on this one  yeah a little bit more tropical do you  

have a favorite amongst the three i think the  last two oh yeah last two i've just tried yeah  

and salty for one maybe even this one oh nice  it just it smells like summer sweet and tropical  

that's very good i'm trying the shiraz cabernet  yeah getting some blackberry notes and smoke  

this would pair very nicely with the typical  barbecues we love to have with your dad

next up is a lucy coleman  this is a medium body red  

oh yes that's much lighter  

a bit fruitier as well it's really smooth this  is definitely something you'd pair with a bit of  

a lighter meal i do like the shiraz a bit more  though number three so next up we've got the  

great red and i love the slogan for it it says a  barbecue find and something interesting about this  

is that it's aged with maple wood chips so  i'm interested to see if i can detect that  

it's full bodied but it's a little bit sweet too  which i love this is a really really nice wine out  

of the three my favorite and i'm surprised that  i like it more than the shiraz it's saying a lot

so  

so

all right we had a really fun wine tasting at  yoast yeah it was so good that we've decided  

to go and have an early supper there their cafe  closes at 4. we're gonna be there before four so  

basically what we did we did the wine tasting we  got three different bottles of wine and then we  

drove over to blue sea beach provincial park right  here on the water a five-minute drive from the  

vineyard we enjoyed a little walk it was a little  bit seaweedy i've got to say lots of algae on the  

shore i did find a few areas that i could walk  and i got my knee salty day without getting myself  

completely wet sam didn't wet his pants guys yeah  i mean yeah it seems to that was becoming a daily  

ritual what i did i just like kneeled into the  water this time instead of going out deeper  

but anyways it was great um it seems like every  single day we find a way to walk along the beach  

and that's what i love about nova scotia  canada it's so fascinating that you can be  

in a vineyard in one moment and then like a few  minutes later down by the beach so on the beach  

but anyways now we are back in the car and we're  going to return to yoast vineyards to eat other  

the sea grape i'm gonna have a little wine  with my dinner i'm driving guys so none for me

all right from the vineyard to the brewery  here we are we were planning on coming here  

but i walk by here and just look so awesome and  we actually saw a youtube video about this place  

the other night i'm like i gotta come in here  and have a beer and get a hat of course too so  

we're currently at Tatamagouche brewing and this  place is set in a former butcher shop that's right  

they've been open for six years and they've got  a number of things on tap um today i've gone for  

the red so i'm gonna try that sure cheers oh  it's nice and refreshing i mean to be honest  

it's quite humid today isn't it yeah we thought  it was going to be quite a bit cooler but the  

temperature even though it's overcast it's very  humid so i'm thirsty um this is just the perfect  

perfect drink to be having the end of the day so  many excellent craft breweries in nova scotia as  

we've discovered traveling and distilleries  too i might add so if you're visiting around  

nova scotia canada be sure to check out well  obviously Tatamagouche brewing company but  

also the other ones in local towns as well  it's been one of our favorite things to do

well guys it is time for the grand tour so come  closer come on in we are going to give you a tour  

of this cabin in the woods here in  Tatamagouche we've been staying about  

15 minutes outside of town we are surrounded by  forest we've been told that bears skunks foxes  

all sorts of animals roam here so yes we are in  the wilderness and we found a really cozy space  

very woodsy so come on in we've booked this place  for two nights already slept here yesterday we  

have one more night ahead of us and first of  all voila welcome to the bedroom first thing  

that caught my attention the fairy lights i think  that's a very very nice touch we'll close the door  

so it's not so echoey for you but yeah pretty cool  space don't you think yeah i love it look at the  

wood paneling everywhere yes it's an all wood  interior it just feels very homey rustic cozy  

and check out the cool art in the corner lots of  cool art yeah so we've got a map from burkina faso  

i'm guessing our host has spent some time in  west africa there's lots of artwork you're  

gonna notice it throughout the cabin but some very  cool paintings here oh this i really like it's a  

turtle lamp oh that's our turtle lamp that we have  here um then on this side we've got our little  

living area it's more of like a futon turns into  additional sleeping space if you need it lots of  

pillows extra blankets one really cool thing about  this cabin yeah check out the stove that's amazing  

huh it serves two purposes like it'll warm up the  space in the winter time um but you can also cook  

with it if you feel like it shows the different  components where there's stones inside come on in  

so this is where you would do your baking there's  stones inside yes okay i tried explaining to sam  

when it's cold because these are stories i've  heard from my dad but it when it was cold back in  

the day they used to put bricks in the oven warm  them up then wrap them in newspaper and stick them  

in the bed at your feet kind of like a hot water  bottle but using bricks and here i noticed they  

have these giant stones so it made me wonder maybe  they stick them in the oven warm them up and then  

you know talk them in bed but sam doesn't believe  me oh do you know that seems like a bit of a tall  

tale no you're probably right though so yeah it's  not very often you get to see one of these this is
