Holiday homes in Beaumes-de-Venise

The village lies at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, an impressive limestone range loved by walkers and climbers. The name Beaumes-de-Venise comes from the natural caves (baumes) in the surrounding hills, which once served as a refuge. The addition "de Venise" is said to refer to old marshes or vineyards in the area. That already hints at the special combination of nature and wine tradition the village is known for.

If there is one thing Beaumes-de-Venise is famous for, it is Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise. This golden dessert wine with its fragrant aromas of honey and ripe fruit is loved all over the world. But the powerful red wines from the surrounding vineyards also deserve a place on your list. Visit a wine cellar or a tasting and let the passion of the local winemakers surprise you.

Beaumes-de-Venise: a Provençal gem with a rich past

As soon as you arrive you will be charmed by the narrow streets and the rustic atmosphere so typical of Provence. One of the highlights of Beaumes-de-Venise is the Église Notre-Dame-d'Aubune, a beautiful Romanesque church from the 12th century, just outside the village. This historic gem with its unique bell tower and serene setting is a protected monument and an absolute must-see. For history lovers, the area has more surprises in store: in the surrounding cliffs you will find old cave dwellings that were used as shelters in the Middle Ages. A walk past these places gives a fascinating glimpse into the past.

For cyclists, the nearby Mont Ventoux is a big draw. After an active day, the village offers a quiet place to relax with a glass of wine and a meal made with local produce.

Historic towns such as Carpentras (10 km), Orange (20 km) and Avignon (35 km) are within easy reach.
