I don't think that it is possible in amateur laboratory and since you don't have the knowledge how to do it, you probably won't.

How patient are you? With lots of patience you could go the old school route and try manual separation of crystals.

Louis Pasteur continued this research in 1847 by investigating the shapes of sodium ammonium tartrate crystals, which he found to be chiral. By manually sorting the differently shaped crystals, Pasteur was the first to produce a pure sample of levotartaric acid.

Check out the Wikipedia page for tartaric acid and track down the references: (Google translate may be needed) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartaric_acid#cite_note-9

Biological processes can be used for separation of one of the enantiomers. Certain bacteria may be capable of digesting one of the enantiomers, while not being capable of digesting the other enantiomer. After this, the remaining enantiomer needs to be isolated from the mess.

Not something for the average home lab.
