On Tuesday, November 4th, The Wine Room is set to reimagine the Flemington experience with all of the intimacy and polish of a luxury corporate box. From 11am, guests are invited to settle in for an afternoon that blends racing tradition with the venue’s signature refinement — complete with live coverage of every moment from Flemington.
In keeping with the spirit of the original event, fashion remains firmly at the fore, with the sundeck transformed into a catwalk — a nod to the iconic Fashions on the Field. Those wishing to partake can expect a stylish interlude to the racing action, as guests vie for best dressed, providing a hard-to-come-by excuse to don your finest.
Back at the table, Executive Chef Ryan Moore will be on-hand to curate a set menu inspired by the indulgence of Cup Day’s famed front lawn. Elevated barbecue and cocktail-style dining anchor the offering, complemented by the restaurant’s much-loved à la carte menu.
Fittingly, the celebration begins with a glass of the newly-released Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2016 — an elegant prelude to an afternoon of racing, dining, and revelry. With capacity limited and demand for the nation’s most celebrated race day expected to be high, securing a table early is essential.
The Wine Room’s Melbourne Cup celebration is not ticketed; instead, table reservations ensure your place within this exclusive vantage point. Whether arriving early to bask in the full atmosphere, or slipping in ahead of the main event, this is an occasion designed to be savoured —where fine food, flowing champagne, and the thrill of the Cup meet under one roof.
Bookings are now open online for Tuesday, 4th November. Secure your spot here.
