Derby Day 2026 in Black, White and St Remio
Derby Day 2026 started wet and wild, but Flemington never stays grey for long. Once the rain and wind cleared off, the afternoon filled up with race-day festivities, black and white everywhere you looked, and a St Remio coffee in plenty of hands to keep everyone warm.
Pouring every Flemington coffee on Derby Day
This Carnival, every coffee on the ground at Flemington is a St Remio coffee. On Derby Day 2026 you could find us at the Pink Palace, the old Milk Bar by the betting ring, inside the Lexus Pavilion, and at our container by the Elms, where Mr Black was serving espresso martinis. With a chill still hanging around after the morning weather, a hot coffee was the go-to, alongside our Lemon Pie Cold Brew, Mont Blancs and Pistachio Mont Blancs.
Highlights from the track
It was all happening on track. We caught up with Darren Palmer for an interview, there was a live weather cross from Flemington, and the crowd kept the coffee moving all afternoon. St Remio was also pouring at the Laurent bakery on course, racegoers could recharge with a coffee while their phones topped up with Cygnett, and of course the Lexus Pavilion was high energy!

Every coffee we pour on course connects back to the women of the Cocagi Cooperative in Rwanda. See the projects your coffee funds.
