If you’ve ever stood trackside with a glass of sparkling in hand, you’ll know there’s something special about a country race day done right. In Great Western, they’ve been getting it right for over 145 years, and in 2026, it’s about to get even better.
Introducing The Seppelt Circle, the signature Great Western Races marquee experience.
Formerly the VIP Enclosure, The Seppelt Circle is the new face of premium race day hospitality at the Seppelt Great Western Cup. It’s still beneath the pines. Still has the best view on the course. But now, it comes with a new name and an experience that better reflects what race day has become.
Your day will begin at 10am on the lawns of Seppelt Great Western, with sparkling wine and canapés served on arrival. The newest vintage of our Show Sparkling Shiraz will be chilled and ready, and your host will be there to welcome you before the first race even jumps.
From midday, guests can stroll or take a short shuttle to the racecourse, where their seat in The Seppelt Circle awaits. You’ll enjoy a beautifully prepared seated lunch by Executive Chef Bryden Buckingham, served throughout the afternoon with premium Seppelt wines and all beverages included.
You’ll have full access to our private bar, a dedicated bookmaker, and the best view on the course for the running of the Seppelt Great Western Cup.
Because race day should feel like a celebration.
Because good wine deserves a table.
Because this is Great Western, and we do things with a little more style.
If you’re searching for a Great Western Races marquee package that blends comfort, service, and atmosphere, this is it. A private enclosure. A long lunch. Sparkling Shiraz in the glass, dust on the track, and the Grampians rising in the distance. Need we say more?
