RAW Foodie Five Challenge
Introducing the RAW Foodie Five Challenge
The day’s walking is done. Boots are off, a glass of local wine is in hand, and the table is filled with dishes that tell the story of the region you’ve spent the day exploring.
These are the moments that linger long after a walking holiday has ended.
Across Australia and New Zealand, some of our favourite journeys combine spectacular landscapes with exceptional local food and wine. From waterfront dining in the Marlborough Sounds and long winery lunches on the Mornington Peninsula to chef prepared meals beneath the stars in the Flinders Ranges, every destination offers a flavour all its own.
That’s why we’ve created the RAW Foodie Five Challenge.
We’ve brought together five unforgettable walking holidays where extraordinary scenery and memorable dining go hand in hand. Complete all five eligible journeys and we’ll celebrate your achievement with dinner on us.
Even better, if you’ve already travelled on one or more of these experiences with RAW Travel, they already count towards your challenge.
Complete all five and we’ll shout you dinner.*
