About this event
What to expect
For 150 years, racegoers have gathered in the Grampians wine village of Great Western for the Seppelt Great Western Cup.
In 2027, guests are invited to experience the milestone event from The Seppelt Circle, Seppelt's private trackside enclosure beneath the pines. With sweeping views of the course, reserved seating and warm, hosted service throughout the day, The Seppelt Circle brings together the best parts of Cup Day in one place.
The day begins at 10:00 AM on the lawns of Seppelt Great Western, with sparkling wine and canapés served on arrival. Guests will raise a glass with one of the first pours from the long-awaited new vintage of Seppelt Show Sparkling Shiraz before making their way to the racecourse. Once at the track, lunch will be served in The Seppelt Circle enclosure, with a three-course menu by Executive Chef Bryden Buckingham and his team, showcasing local and seasonal produce. Premium Seppelt wines, beer and non-alcoholic beverages will be poured throughout the afternoon, with a private bar, dedicated bookmaker, official racebook and one of the best views on course.
The Seppelt Circle sold out in 2026 and places for the 150th year are strictly limited. Tickets must be pre-purchased and will sell out.
