The town of Sinj and the magical Cetinska krajina region are the gastronomical haven of the Dalmatian Hinterland. Here, the flavors of local food intertwine with history, providing you with irresistible pleasures that leave an unforgettable impression.

The Cetinska krajina region, rich with fertile land and clean rivers, has always provided us with the highest-quality ingredients. Sinj’s tumultuous history, in turn, managed to unite the spirit of the Mediterranean and the Orient with the local continental cuisine, making it into a unique, well-respected culinary center. Aside from the arambaša of Sinj – a famous local specialty listed as Croatia’s immaterial cultural heritage – the hospitable people of Sinj will readily offer you other delicacies such as frogs, river crabs, trout from the Cetina River, rafioli, and many other foods characteristic to the Dalmatian Hinterland. The hot, crunchy uštipak is a popular, tasty street food, perfect in its simplicity; it works with both sweet and salty combinations. In fact, they are often combined with Sinj’s prosciutto, which owes its unique flavor to the smoking process through which it is prepared and the merciless bura wind.

The home of the Alka knight’s tournament, Sinj houses many restaurants and konobe which can take you on a culinary trip through tradition. The Mediterranean-Eastern cuisine, enriched with fresh, local produce, dominates their menus; all dishes are prepared with love, care, and attention to authenticity, while each bite tells the story of the water, land, sun, and the effort of local workers.

Sinj and the Cetinska krajina region are not just destinations for gastronomical hedonists, but also places where wine turns into art. The main vineyards are located on the slopes of the hills surrounding the left and right sides of the fertile Sinj Field, nourished by the Cetina River. The local hrvaština (‘rvašćina, hrvašćina) is a refreshing, light-bodied wine of pale-red color, made through a traditional, centuries-old method of refining grapes. This distinctive wine is an indispensable part of the enogastronomy of the town under the Kamičak Fortress.

The gastronomical delights of Sinj and the Cetinska krajina region – an oasis now known for more than just its knightly tradition and stunning natural localities – are food for both the body and soul. They will take you on a journey through time, cultures, and a passion for original flavors.
