Beaumes-de-Venise, Wine-producing commune in Vaucluse, France
Beaumes-de-Venise is a wine-producing commune in Vaucluse, situated at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail limestone peaks. Vineyards surround the village and cover a large area, forming the economic foundation of the region.
The region was recognized as a wine producer in the 13th century when King Louis IX transported local wines. This early acknowledgment established the foundation for the long wine tradition that defines the village.
The name Beaumes comes from the Provençal word 'Baumo,' referring to caves carved into Courens Hill that have been used for centuries. These natural formations shape the landscape and show how closely the village has been connected to its rocky surroundings.
The village sits conveniently between larger towns and is easy to reach from Carpentras, Orange, and Avignon. This location makes it simple to explore the wine village itself and visit nearby Provence destinations.
The village received its origin designation seal in 1943 specifically for Muscat wines with stricter requirements. This quality standard sets the local Muscat wines apart from other wines in the region and shows the area's specialization.
