Walk open from 24th July to 27th September
Canola season update

 (13 September)

Our canola has now moved into its late-season stage, and the broad sea of yellow seen earlier in the season has faded considerably. Flowers remain in patches, particularly around the crop edges, and there are still lovely opportunities for group photographs and close-up images—but the experience is now quite different from peak flowering.The walking tracks, tractor train, pianos, vintage tractors and trucks remain open, and visitors are welcome to make a day of it with food, live music, wine, Cornella Brewery beer and plenty of space to relax at Shiraz Republic.We have introduced a reduced late-season admission price. Everyone with an existing booking will be contacted and offered the choice of attending with additional value, transferring their booking to next season, or receiving a refund.

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.
