Aubignan (Aubinhan in Occitan) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France. A stone's throw from Beaumes-de-Venise and the famous Côtes du Rhône vineyards, Aubignan is, itself, locally renown not only for the production of wine but of young vines and vine grafts.
The commune is twinned with Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland.
