A New Culinary Chapter at the Inn at Occidental
Opening this December, Local Table will introduce an exciting new dining experience to West Sonoma County — a pop-up style restaurant with a revolving cast of talented guest chefs. Housed inside the historic Inn at Occidental, Local Table will showcase a changing lineup of inventive menus, each one created by celebrated local culinary artists who bring their own passions, stories, and regional inspirations to the table.
Each pop-up will feature a distinct cuisine, style, or theme — from refined wine-country fare to global flavors with a Sonoma twist — ensuring no two visits are ever the same. Guests can expect seasonally driven ingredients, close relationships with local farmers, and a spirit of culinary creativity that reflects the richness of our coastal and redwood-lined community.
Grand Opening
Thursday, December 4, 2025 from 5 – 9pm
We are honored to launch Local Table with Jim and Michele Wimborough, the beloved husband-and-wife chef team behind Hazel Restaurant, the much-missed Occidental restaurant that earned a devoted following before its recent closure. Their return to Occidental marks a welcomed homecoming — and we are thrilled to host them for an unforgettable opening night.
Hazel fans can look forward to the warm hospitality, wood-oven magic, and ingredient-driven cooking Jim and Michele are known for — now reimagined for an intimate, one-night-only debut of Local Table.
