De Bortoli Hunter Valley will welcome the 2026 Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour on Thursday 6 August, giving locals and visitors the opportunity to experience the famous 18-carat gold trophy during its journey around Australia and the world. Set against the relaxed backdrop of De Bortoli’s Pokolbin cellar door, the one-hour appearance brings a little Flemington excitement to the heart of Hunter Valley Wine Country.
Accompanying the Cup will be special guest Corey Brown, whose celebrated racing career includes two victories in Australia’s most famous race. Brown first lifted the Melbourne Cup after riding Shocking to victory in 2009, returning to the winner’s circle aboard Rekindling in 2017. His appearance offers racing followers a special connection to two unforgettable moments in Melbourne Cup history.
Whether you follow every race or simply want to experience an important piece of Australian sporting history, this is a rare chance to share in the excitement of the Cup Tour without leaving the Hunter Valley. Gather your friends, bring the family and join De Bortoli for a memorable morning as the People’s Cup continues its journey towards Flemington.
