If sipping Perrier-Jouët, indulging in a feast of local trawler-fresh seafood, perusing fine jewellery and enjoying shimmering lagoon views sounds like your idea of a good time, then Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort’s Melbourne Cup Day celebrations could be just what you’re looking for!

Begin this luxe Melbourne Cup experience with arrival drinks on The Deck, where you can sip on a glass of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut NV whilst perusing the fine jewellery on display by luxury designer Calleija. From here, you are invited to a grand buffet lunch at Terraces Restaurant, one of the Gold Coast’s most extensive seafood buffets renowned for its carefully selected array of seasonal Australian produce. Soak up the views and the race-day atmosphere while being treated to a decadent selection of chilled delights (hellooo prawns, smoked salmon and oh-so-sweet crab), as well as mouth-watering roasts, vibrant salads and delicious desserts. The fresh and indulgent Melbourne Cup seafood buffet is best enjoyed with a glass of Perrier-Jouët Champagne as part of your three-hour beverage package. In between sipping and savouring, you’ll be kept entertained by raffles, charity sweeps, best-dressed prizes and, of course, all of the action screened live from Flemington!

Tickets to this lavish affair are $189, and can be purchased online with Gold Coast Tickets.
