"Chef Jason Pringle plates French-Californian cooking and Dungeness crab chitarra over the vineyards at Montage Healdsburg — for a wine-country anniversary."
About Hazel Hill
Hazel Hill is the signature restaurant of Montage Healdsburg, the hillside resort set among oak woodland and vineyards in northern Sonoma County. Led by chef Jason Pringle, the kitchen works a terroir-to-table style that joins California produce to French technique, drawing on nearby farmers and producers.
Montage Healdsburg holds a five-star rating in the Forbes Travel Guide 2025 awards, with Hazel Hill rated four stars. It sits among the destination tables of the Sonoma wine country, alongside the tasting-menu Enclos and the wood-fired Wit & Wisdom.
The Kitchen
Pringle's menu reads French-influenced but California-grown: a signature Dungeness crab chitarra — his creamy, garlic-spiked pasta — alongside Liberty Farms duck breast, seasonal vegetables and a five-course Chef's Tasting at $150 per person. The cooking aims to be refined and comforting at once, changing with the season and the day's deliveries.
An interactive expo kitchen, exhibit pantry and wine bar round out the room, with a deep Sonoma and French list. For a more casual wine-country meal, The Girl & The Fig on Sonoma Plaza is an easy alternative.
The Room
The room opens onto a terrace with long views across the vineyards and oak hills, warm and unhurried rather than formal. Al fresco tables, a wine bar and the open expo kitchen give it the relaxed confidence of a resort dining room built for lingering through a sunset service.
Best for an anniversary
Vineyard views, a calm terrace and a chef-driven tasting make Hazel Hill a memorable wine-country anniversary, and the easy pace suits a relaxed first date over a long lunch.
Not for
Not for budget travellers or a quick bite — this is a five-star resort dining room with wine-country prices, built for an occasion rather than a casual drop-in.
