Caves de la Chartreuse

The Chartreuse Caves tourist and cultural site invites you to discover the world of liqueur, the exceptional heritage and the know-how of the Carthusian monks through a guided tour.

Upon entering the museum space, you will wander through the former production site, exploring seven distinct areas that symbolize the major periods in the history of Chartreuse liqueurs. From the origins of the Elixir to the creation of the liqueur and the founding of the brand, you will be able to see nearly 1200 original, never-before-exhibited pieces.

The route continues through a space entirely dedicated to the plants which represent the basis of the manufacture of liqueurs for the monks. Here, all your senses will be awakened, so you can taste, see, touch and smell.

Before entering the historic Voiron cellar, you will cross the atrium which gives pride of place to the Chartreuse massif, in which the monks have been living for nearly a millennium.

Your visit will end with a tasting of traditional green and yellow liqueurs or non-alcoholic herbal tea.
