Ambrym Estate Melbourne Cup Soirée 2026

Melbourne Cup Soirée 2026

The race may stop the nation, but this is where the celebration starts.

Melbourne Cup returns to Ambrym Estate in 2026 for a day of racing, fashion, incredible food and a few surprises we’re keeping under wraps for now.

With just 170 tickets available, this year’s Soirée will be an intimate Cup Day celebration set across the lawns and surrounds of Ambrym Estate.

Arrive from 11am and settle in under the fig tree for an hour canapés and complimentary bubbles and beer before taking your seat from midday for an exquisite sit-down lunch by Vue Yeppoon, accompanied by a selection of white and red wines, plus beer.

The race action will play out live on the big screens, while beyond the track there’ll be plenty happening throughout the day including  music, trivia, prizes, best dressed, bars, outdoor umbrellas and relaxed lawn seating, all set against Ambrym’s sweeping hinterland and coastal views.

And because getting there should be just as easy as enjoying yourself, return bus transport will be available to and from the venue, with further details to be announced.

Individual tickets and tables of 10 are available. But with only 170 places this year.

And we’re not revealing everything just yet…More entertainment, details and a few very special surprises will be announced as Melbourne Cup Day gets closer.

Tickets include: bus transfer, an hour of complimentary bubbles and beer, canape's, sit down meal, prizes, entertainment, on-site race betting and a backdrop like no other.
