Inspired by Italy’s springtime festivals, we’re bringing a little ‘Festa della Primavera’ to Cup Day.
Enjoy five indulgent courses paired with Chef Tim’s handpicked Italian wines, served with all the long-lunch vibes to make you feel like you’ve landed in springtime Italy, even if we’re technically wrapping ours up.
Whether you’re here for the race that stops the nation or just chasing an excuse to wine and dine, we’ve got you covered.

Glass and bottle options available.
For this event we are able to cater for gluten free, vegetarian & pescatarian diets, other allergens upon discussion. Please email organiser directly.
