Beaumes-de-Venise

Beaumes-de-Venise (French pronunciation: [bom də vəniz]; Occitan: Baumas de Venisa) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

The surrounding hills have many of these caves that were inhabited during the Iron Age.

The village gives its name to a sweet wine appellation, Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise.

It also gives its name to a drier red wine, formerly Côtes du Rhone Villages Beaumes-de-Venise, now Beaumes de Venise AOC.
