Vacqueyras AOC, Wine appellation in Vaucluse, France.
The Vacqueyras AOC spans 1200 hectares of vineyards on the Rhône River's left bank, producing wines from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grape varieties.
The region gained its official AOC status in 1990, following its previous classification as part of the Côtes du Rhône-Villages appellation since 1955.
Since 1998, the wines from Vacqueyras have maintained their position as the designated wines served at the prominent Avignon Festival.
The vineyards grow in alluvial soils with sandy clay and rounded cobbles at altitudes between 100 and 400 meters above sea level.
Red wines constitute 97% of the annual production, with Grenache serving as the primary grape variety in the Mediterranean climate conditions.
