Winemaking in the Cape is strongly based on the Germanic tradition and method, although it has also been strongly influenced by the French traditions. The first vines were planted in the Cape more than 300 years ago. With the arrival of the French Huguenots, fleeing religious persecution in France, wine making received a great leap forward as they applied their finer knowledge and expertise in the art of wine making. Wine cellars are a popular destination on most Cape Town tours. To tour a wine route means not only to taste some of the best wines in the world and experience a vineyard and cellar tours, but also to view the finest examples of Cape Dutch architecture, the national heritage sites, and top quality restaurants and spas which form part of many wine estates. If you are lucky, depending on your time of travel, you may also participate in one of the popular wine festivals on these estates which incorporate wine tasting, traditional music and dance from the region, after the harvest. South African wine sales are growing increasingly globally, as the estates themselves have expanded and introduced many innovations in wine making. When taking a Cape Town tour or a tour of a wine route, Mmilo has a variety of different packages ranging from escorted day tours to escorted small group tours as well as tailormade options.

One of the ready-made, group tour options is the Eden Tour. This tour includes the highlights of Cape Town and Cape Peninsula. The tour starts in Port Elizabeth and slowly winds its way around the Garden Route to Cape Town. Along the tour you will be able to participate in activities such as a Big 5 Safari at the Addo Elephant National Park, a Knysna lagoon boat cruise and explorations of the Cango Caves that have existed for millenia, with their spectacular stalactites and stalagmites, that never fail to enchant visitors. There are also several other optional activities should you wish to take part in them, such as visiting the Maritime Museum in Mossel Bay. A top choice is the Rediscovery Tour. Although this is partly a Cape Town tour, to tour a wine route and other aspects of the Cape, it also journeys to Durban , an amazing World Heritage Site, iSimangaliso, St Lucia Wetlands, for a waterborne safari and the Warm Atlantic Ocean side Cape Vidal beach in the KwaZulu- Natal province .

The wine tour aspect sees the groups visiting several top wine cellars in the premier wine producing areas of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. The whole journey lasts 10 days and aims to share with visitors a variety of experiences offered by traditional Durban and Cape Town tours, including a tour of the V & A Waterfront. Mmilo Tours is for the traveler who enjoys luxury accommodation and travel, whether on the Cape Town tours, a tour of a wine route or tours of the Kruger National Park. All accommodation is in small to medium sized lodges, hotels and guest houses to ensure an intimate, personalised experience. Furthermore, Mmilo Tours groups are kept small, usually not exceeding 10 members. Tour guides are all South Africans, to ensure an authentic experience. All of this reflects Mmilo Tours' passion to provide visitors to South Africa with enriching, enjoyable and relaxing holidays.
