Vinsobres is a commune in the Drôme department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in southeastern France.

Vinsobles is located 9 km south-west of Nyons, 14 km north-east of Tulette, 12 km south-east of Valréas, and 15 km north of Vaison-la-Romaine.

The neighbouring communes are Mirabel-aux-Baronnies and Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues.

Alphonse de Bounard was the Marquis of Archimbaud, Lord of Roquebrune, Vérone and Vinsobres, Baron of Montguers and royalist member of parliament for Nyons.

According to the tradition he was descended from the Cort Palatine and Italian painter, Arcimboldo.

The oldest form is de Vinzobrio, attested in 1137. It is made up of the root, vintio-, which originates from the pre-Celtic vin-t (height), and from the Celtic suffix briga (mountain).

Vinsobres is an appellation for red wine since 2006.
