Beaumes-de-Venise

The commune sits at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail limestone peaks, surrounded by vineyards that extend across 500 hectares of terrain.

In 1248, King Louis IX transported local wines during the Seventh Crusade, marking the early recognition of Beaumes-de-Venise wine production.

The name Beaumes originates from the Provençal word 'Baumo,' referring to the numerous caves carved into Courens Hill used throughout generations.

The village location provides access to major Provence destinations, with Carpentras at 9 kilometers, Orange at 20 kilometers, and Avignon at 32 kilometers distance.

The region gained its Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée status for Muscat wines in 1943, requiring a minimum alcohol content of 15 percent.
