Caves de la Chartreuse, Liqueur museum and shop in Voiron, France.
Caves de la Chartreuse is a production facility and museum in Voiron where the famous herbal liqueur is made. The building contains exhibition areas displaying old bottles, tools, and documents that illustrate production methods and ingredient preparation.
Production began when Carthusian monks developed a secret herbal recipe in the 17th century and established it in this region. The site has operated for more than 300 years, maintaining essential production and storage techniques throughout successive generations.
The space tells the story of how monks preserved and passed down their herbal recipes across generations, visible in antique bottles and recipe documents on display. This craft tradition continues to shape local identity and connects visitors to centuries of continuous production.
Visitors can walk through exhibition areas and observe how the liqueur is made before it enters aging rooms. Tours are accessible and typically conclude with a tasting of the two main varieties.
Underground aging cellars hold thousands of liters of liqueur maturing in large oak barrels for years in a stable environment. These subterranean storage areas create a specific microclimate essential for the chemical development of the drink.
