Walk open from 24th July to 4th October
Canola season update
 (Friday 18 September)

FREE ENTRY FOR REST OF SEASON

The canola flowers have now dropped considerably, and the crop no longer provides the broad sea of yellow. Flowers remain in patches—particularly around the edges—and close-up and group photographs are still coming up well. Entry will be free through to the end of the VIC school holidays on Sunday 4 October.

The walking tracks and other attractions remain open, including the tractor train, pianos, vintage tractors, trucks and plenty of open space to enjoy. 

Shiraz Republic's cellar door is open daily from 11am during this period to enjoy our farm-made wine and beers, wood-fired style pizza and more. You can book for our cellar door here and help us forecasting numbers for the walk by booking a free ticket below with TryBooking.

About the Canola Walk
Every spring, the paddocks around Colbinabbin and Cornella transform into a sea of bright yellow canola flowers. Cornella Canola Walk at Shiraz Republic offers visitors a rare chance to step inside a 100-acre canola field, via specially cut walking tracks and a scenic viewing platform.

This is Victoria’s only walk-through canola experience, designed to protect the crop while allowing photographers, nature lovers and day-trippers to capture the stunning landscape up close.

Located less than two hours from Melbourne and 40 minutes from Bendigo, it’s the perfect day trip or weekend getaway. After your walk, enjoy wine tasting at our working winery, sample craft beer from Cornella Brewery, or relax with a woodfired pizza overlooking the vines.
