The layout of the houses at Beaumes de Venise give the impression that it is built into a hill. The village situated at the foot of the Courens plateau, owes its name to the numerous caves (or baumes) on the hill. The village nestles at the foot of the famous Dentelles de Montmirail, offering it a natural rampart against the Mistral wind.
Gourmets and those with discerning taste buds will not spend too much time up in the caves and the chapels on the hill, knowing that below in the village, on Avenue Raspail, wine cellars offering tasting and sale of the famous Beaumes de Venise Muscat wine are waiting for them.
This wine is renowned far beyond the borders of the Comtat Venaissin. There are several vintages and several subtle savours available
