Matias Kyriazis & Estefania di Benedetto – Owners and chefs at Paraje Arevalo in Buenos Aires, whose cuisine Travel + Leisure called “decadent” and “artful;” and
Eugenio Jardim – A Brazilian native and wine expert, now the wine director at San Francisco’s Jardiniere with a reputation for seeking out unique and exciting vintages.
Celebrated “Modern Mixologist” Tony Abou-Ganim mixes it up with onboard cocktail making sessions and tips and techniques on creating local concoctions.
Crystal’s expert chefs will lead hands-on instruction and guests can opt for hands-on cooking lessons at a local Brazilian restaurant.
“South America has such rich culinary history and culture, and we are thrilled to showcase the region with the techniques and specialties of these culinary talents,” says Toni Neumeister, vice president, food and beverage.
