Melbourne Cup Day at Zinc
Close the shop, take the day off and come join us at Zinc to celebrate the Lexus Melbourne Cup 2026.
In conjunction with Taittinger & some amazing local & international wine makers, Zinc will be hosting a lavish Cup Day lunch with all the flare of Flemington. Start your cup day with a beautiful glass of Taittinger, followed by a feast to die for and a 3 hour beverage package.
Make sure you dress to impress; the paparazzi will be out. Walk the black carpet and slam the glam. There are prizes for the best cup day style.
The vodka / Gin bar sponsored by Devils Thumb in our garden will be the place to cool off during the midday tropical heat.
When it is time to race, hold on to your hats and keep your eyes on the multiple big screens to catch all the action.
