Cox Plate Weekend

Make your way to the centrally located 4-Star Langham Hotel on Southbank for check-in. We’ll meet in the lobby before we head out for a nice local dinner and drinks to get to know each other and prepare for a great weekend ahead.

Early this morning we head to the Macedon Ranges to visit a leading stable operation, where we’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at training facilities and some impressive horses in work. Afterwards, we’ll enjoy a relaxing afternoon at a countryside winery, taking in the scenery over lunch and a wine tasting. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure.

After breakfast, we head off to a Cox Plate preview luncheon at the top of the Eureka Tower. Where we’ll get the latest updates on all the weekend’s action and special guests, previous guests have included Grace Ramage, Ben Hayes, Matt Cumani, Natalie Young and more. The evening is yours at leisure to prepare for a big day tomorrow.

After a relaxed sleep in, we’ll make our way to Flemington Racecourse for an unforgettable Ladbrokes Cox Plate Day. As one of the highlights of the tour, you’ll experience the excitement of Australia’s premier weight-for-age championship from Skyline Dining, one of Flemington’s most sought-after hospitality venues.

Perfectly positioned in the Hill Stand overlooking the winning post, Skyline Dining combines exceptional race day atmosphere with premium hospitality. Indulge in a five-course degustation menu complemented by a premium all-day beverage package, while enjoying reserved seating with outstanding track views and attentive table service throughout the day. Your experience also includes racecourse admission, access to betting facilities and an official Cox Plate Charity Pin.

Sit back, relax and soak up every moment of this historic one-off Cox Plate at Flemington from an elegant dining setting in the heart of the action.

After breakfast and checkout, it’s time to end our trip to Melbourne and make our way home, or stick around for Flemington next week, Melbourne Cup Week awaits!
