🍷 Varnum Vintners x DockBox – Fall 2025 Collaboration

In celebration of Varnum Vintners’ Fall 2025 Wine Club release, we’ve crafted six DockBox dishes designed to complement each featured wine. Inspired by the pairing notes and the shared spirit of craftsmanship between Local Ocean and Varnum, these dishes highlight Oregon seafood, seasonal ingredients, and global flavors that bring the wines to life.
