  • Giulia Negri Wine Experience

    $175.00 per person

    May 5, 2025 only
    Giulia Negri Dinner Monday, May 5th, 2025 Dubbed “Barologirl” by the old guard in Serradenari, Giulia Negri has taken the vineyards that have been in her family for 150 years, to new heights. After completing studies in management and biology, and fresh off an inspiring trip to Burgundy where she truly began forming her palate, Giulia returned to La Morra motivated to learn all the secrets to making fine wine in her native Piemonte. She started small, releasing microcuvées under her own label, before finally taking over the totality of vineyard management and production in 2014. In the heart of the Serradenari cru of La Morra—the highest point in the Barolo zone, Giulia passionately pursues her goal of crafting Barolo with a Burgundian sensibility. In fact, she even inherited small parcels of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero that her father planted on the estate’s cooler, north-facing sites, allowing her to pay tribute to the great wines of the Côte d’Or through the lens of Piemontese soil. What she has accomplished since taking the reigns at the age of 24 is quite remarkable; the admiration received from industry professionals is undeniable. Please join us at Artisan, Southport for what is sure to be a truly unforgettable night; not only tasting the greatness of the wines, but doing so with Giulia herself. Reservations are required, as this is a very limited event. $175.00 per person++ *Please call the restaurant directly in regards to any dietary restrictions, as these are dealt with on a case by case basis.

    Artisan is the place for a special event, and lunch today where I took my daughter to celebrate her birthday was no exception. Everything is prepared and served expertly and the dining room always looks beautiful. Our waiter was attentive but not obtrusive.

    Always a welcoming place. Dinner was excellent, the service was very good and the atmosphere is inviting and not noisy. The chicken and the fish were delicious and we had a very pleasant dinner. Artisan has long been a reliable and good place to have an upscale and very pleasant dinner, and it continues to be exactly that.

    Artisan rates high in all categories. Ambiance in the taproom is casual but sophisticated. The staff is very attentive but considerate and the food is always excellent. Bartender also put together an interesting selection of house specialty cocktails. Strongly recommend.
