Artio Gairmino Sanctuary

Locally sourced food and libations are my passion. They are superior when fresh and you experience  where the beautiful food is grown and  harvested. As a mother, nurse for 28 years and prior massage therapist, I care immensely for what we put in our bodies and our connection to it. I have an environmental studies degree and  a Masters in Education. I love to share what I am passionate about.  I am a super host with a 5 star rating and I have served breakfast and special meals from locally sourced products or foods that I have grown myself. I am a prior ambassador of NM wine for a local vineyard. I am a sommelier with advanced certification with The International Sommelier Guild. I infuse my southern roots into the amazing diversity of New Mexico cuisine

​

We will discuss the menu ingredients and visit a local vineyard to taste local libations to pair with our meal.  We will visit a local farm or two to gather any ingredients that we cannot harvest on site. These farms are not open to the public. We will prepare a meal together from locally sourced ingredients in my outdoor kitchen.  We will share our meal together Al fresco. The goal is that we all share and are able to pair a different wine with each course.

​

Thank you for another great season. STAY TUNED as we transition to Artio Garimino Sanctuary in North Port, Florida. As a fourth generation Floridian, it was time to come home. I cannot wait to share it with you. We will open booking for mid may in a few days.  Sommelier led tastings are available on a request basis. Click on the libation bearer tab at the top of the page.
