Cuvée is the go-to precinct for those after a lively, stylish way to spend Melbourne Cup Day.

With a gourmet food and beverage package included, it’s a seamless option for entertaining clients, colleagues or friends.

This contemporary space sits right in the heart of the action – opposite the winning post and beside the Birdcage, giving you front-row views as the horses parade, race, and return to scale.

Offering an indoor/(covered) outdoor flow, Cuvée also offers uninterrupted views of the super screen so you won’t miss a moment of the big races or entertainment throughout the day.

Plus, it’s home to the official afterparty once the last race has been run – no need for you to go anywhere!
