Eight of the fall voyages will feature Crystal Cruises' popular "Wine & Food Festival," which brings aboard guest chefs to give cooking demonstrations, share recipes and prepare multi-course gala dinners. Wine experts conduct tastings and create pairings with vintages from the ship's extensive cellars. The fall epicurean roster includes Mirko Rocco, chef of Capri, Italy's Grand Hotel Quisisana; John Sundstrom, executive chef of Earth and Ocean Restaurant in Seattle; executive chef Dale Reitzer from Richmond, Virginia's Acacia restaurant, named one of "Food & Wine" magazine's Best New Chefs; executive chef Luciano Parolari of Italy's La Veranta at Villa d'Este; husband and wife pastry chefs Dominique and Cindy Duby from their eponymous school in British Colombia; Tim Keating, executive chef at Houston's Four Seasons Hotel; Sherry Yard, winner of the 2002 James Beard Award for Outstanding Pastry Chef, from Beverly Hills' Spago and Angelo Auriano, chef of Valentino in Santa Monica. Wine experts include four Master Sommeliers -- Paul Roberts of Houston's Cafe Annie, Steven Geddes, the founding consultant of Las Vegas' famed Aureole restaurant; Bob Bath, consultant for prestigious California vineyards; and Evan Goldstein, 2001 James Beard Award winner of Seagram/Chateau & Estates.
