Inside the Crystal Cup Aperitivo at Pinehurst | A Night with Luke Donald

The famed Dornach Cottage at Pinehurst set the stage for an unforgettable Crystal Cup Aperitivo, celebrating the craftsmanship, flavor, and artistry woven into the Crystal DNA. Guests savored a tasting menu inspired by the legendary Alajmo Brothers, indulged in artisanal gelato crafted in the spirit of Florence’s Badiani, and enjoyed a bespoke Negroni collection curated by award-winning mixologist Charles Joly. As the cool evening air carried the smooth sounds of Italian-American jazz virtuoso Frank Catalano, the night culminated in an inspiring fireside conversation led by journalist and historian Jim Dodd, joined by Crystal Cup Ambassador—and 2025 Ryder Cup Captain and Champion, Luke Donald. An evening that embodied the essence of Crystal: world-class talent, timeless elegance, and meaningful connection in perfect harmony. #crystalatsea #rydercup #luxurycruising
