Beaumes-de-Venise is a commune of the Vaucluse département in southern France. The word "beaumes" comes from the old Provençal word "balma" meaning cave or grotto. 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".
