Join us on Tuesday 3 November from 12pm for Melbourne Cup 2026 at Aalia and the Aalia Wine Room. Gather your colleagues and friends at 25 Martin Place in Sydney's CBD for the excitement of the race that stops the nation.

The lawn comes to Martin Place, and Cup Day moves at the pace of a long lunch, Perrier-Jouët in hand. A banquet by Adam Wolfers, your choice of the $129 or $189 per person menu, shared to the table. Add oysters, caviar bumps, or Aalia's Persian Caviar Service and make more of the afternoon.

A Perrier-Jouët champagne cart does the rounds, every race plays on the screens, and live entertainment drifts through the precinct.

Dress code: Vintage. The golden age of Champagne, in full bloom. Silk, soft florals, a little gold. Prizes for best dressed announced on the day.

Book now and make this Melbourne Cup a day to remember,
