Discover Melbourne during the F1 Weekend

There is no better way to open a Formula 1 season than in Melbourne. Albert Park is a circuit unlike any other: fast, bumpy and set against a lakeside backdrop that makes the whole occasion feel uniquely alive. For those joining us trackside, the experience extends well beyond the racing. Melbourne's dining and nightlife scene is genuinely world-class, and the city embraces the Grand Prix weekend in a way that few host cities can match. At Black Label Supply, we look forward to hosting clients throughout the weekend and ensuring their time away from the circuit is just as memorable as anything that happens on track. This is how we recommend doing Melbourne properly…
