Vinsobres ({{IPA|fr|vɛ̃sɔbʁ}}) is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for red wine in the southern part of the Rhône wine region of France, situated around Vinsobres.

Vinsobres was previously a part of the Côtes-du-Rhône Villages AOC. On 17 February 2006, it was created as a separate AOC, and therefore received the status of a "Rhône Cru". The wines must contain at least 50% Grenache and 25% Syrah and/or Mourvèdre.[http://www.decanter.com/archive/109892.html Decanter, February 15, 2007: Rhone's New Faces]{{Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

Historically, this area has a strong tradition in olive cultivation, and some current vineyards have been converted from growing olives.
