7 Fleurieu Restaurants Where Your RAA Membership Pays You Back
Most people think about their RAA membership when they get a flat battery, lock their keys in the car or need roadside assistance.
But if you enjoy exploring the food and wine scene across McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Peninsula, there are a growing number of dining offers hiding behind that little membership card.
From winery lunches and beachside seafood to complimentary cocktails, desserts and wine tastings, here are some of the dining benefits currently available to RAA Members.
Â
One of the strongest dining offers currently available in McLaren Vale.
RAA members can enjoy:
- The seasonal Feed Me Experience for $69 per person (normally $89)
- The Grazing Experience for $45 per person, including grazing plates and a glass of wine
That's a saving of up to $20 per person while enjoying lunch amongst the vineyards of McLaren Vale.
Flying Fish Café, Port Elliot
One of the Fleurieu's great coastal dining destinations.
RAA members can save $15 per couple on the popular Flying Fish Seafood Platter, reducing the price from $105 to $90. The platter includes King George Whiting, SA oysters, squid, prawns, salad and chips.
Combine that with sweeping views over Horseshoe Bay and you've got a pretty good excuse for a drive to Port Elliot.
Few restaurants in South Australia can match the setting.
RAA members can access a specially created two-course menu for $55, with savings of up to $27 per person. The menu includes a choice of entrée, main and dessert options from a dedicated RAA menu.
Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday lunch overlooking Port Willunga Beach.
Visit the Wonder Room overlooking McLaren Vale and RAA members will receive a complimentary glass of Firehawk Farm Shiraz when booking a tasting experience.
A simple but enjoyable addition to one of the region's most scenic cellar door experiences.
Sometimes the simplest offers are the most useful.
RAA members receive a complimentary dessert with every main meal purchased from Monday to Thursday.
If you're dining with family or friends, those small extras quickly add up over the course of a year.
RAA members receive a complimentary seasonal cocktail when booking the restaurant's popular Feed Me menu. The offer is valued at up to $22 per person.
It's a nice addition to one of McLaren Vale's long-established dining destinations and a good excuse to settle in for an extended lunch.
For those looking for a winery dining experience, RAA members receive a complimentary premium wine tasting in the cellar door when dining at Maxwell Restaurant. The tasting is valued at $30 per person.
Arrive a little early, enjoy the tasting, then settle in for lunch overlooking the vineyards.
Why We Like the Programme
We've partnered with the RAA Dining Programme at The Kitchen at Bec Hardy for a simple reason.
It encourages people to explore.
Sometimes a discounted lunch, a complimentary cocktail or a free tasting is all the encouragement someone needs to visit a venue they've been meaning to try for years.
That's good for diners, good for hospitality businesses and good for the Fleurieu as a whole.
A Simple Habit Worth Developing
Before booking your next:
- Long lunch
- Family dinner
- Winery experience
- Weekend getaway
- Catch-up with friends
Take 30 seconds to check whether your chosen venue offers an RAA member benefit.
You might discover:
- A discounted dining experience
- A complimentary cocktail
- A premium wine tasting
- A free dessert
- Or simply a little extra value added to your day
Because while roadside assistance may be the reason most people join RAA, it's often the everyday benefits that deliver value throughout the year.
