This week on Weekends with Yankee, senior food editor Amy Traverso discovers the secrets to a perfect winter getaway in Waldoboro, Maine. First, she stops in at Tops'l Farm, a glamping resort and culinary destination, for a festive raclette dinner, then visits local landmark Morse's Sauerkraut to check out a host of imported gourmet and specialty items, including its namesake sauerkraut and pickles. Capping off the visit, Amy settles in at Waldoboro's famous Moody's Diner for a mouthwatering slice of pie. Heading south to Mystic, Connecticut, adventurer Richard Wiese takes us back in time to see what gave the famous seaport its name. He boards the Roann, one of the last surviving examples of a wooden rigged fishing vessel, and rows out on an old Grand Banks dory with Mystic Seaport Museum's Maria Petrillo as his guide. Fast-forwarding to the present, he joins Captain Jay Salvatore aboard the Osprey for a little early morning fishing. Finally, we make our way up the coast to Rhode Island, for an insider's tour of Duparquet Copper Cookware, one of the few remaining makers of high-end copper cookware in North America.

About Weekends with Yankee:

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE is a 13-part travel and lifestyle series named for the long-running publication enjoyed by readers across America for more than 80 years.

With New England among the nation's top tourist destinations, the magazine-style program takes viewers on an insider's exploration of the cities, countryside locales and far-flung places in the quaint and scenic region.

The series is hosted by Richard Wiese, (Born to Explore) , an Emmy Award-winning TV personality, author and explorer who has traveled to all seven continents, participated in two expeditions to Antarctica, and cross-country skied to the North Pole.

Amy Traverso, a senior food editor at Yankee magazine who has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show and the Food Network's Throwdown with Bobby Flay, joins Richard as co-host.

She highlights recipes, local flavors and the sense of community that make up the regions' food and dining scene.

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE offers an "all-access" behind-the-scenes pass to the unique attractions that define the region, and the hidden New England that only locals know.
