Grand Hotel backs racegoers

By Kath Gannaway
For racegoers setting out for a day at the track, a big breakfast is not only a fabulous fun way to start the day, it’s one way of making sure you have the stamina to keep up with the festivities.
The grand’s big, country-style breakfast, complemented with a bottomless glass of orange juice and Wild River Sparkling Brut is firm starter for the day.
If a later start to the day is more your style, the Grand’s special Cup Day lunch promises to be a sparkling affair.
Book in for the four-course lunch, matched with four Yering Station wines before wandering across to the Yarra Valley Racing Centre for the afternoon. Alternatively, settle in for the afternoon, ride the Melbourne Cup winner home on one of the hotel’s big screen televisions, and chance your luck in a sweepstake.
Phone around, gather some friends and phone the Grand Hotel on 9730 1230 to make a booking.
