Sennori is nationally recognized for its role in agricultural culture. Since 1987, the municipality has been a member of the National Association of Wine Cities (Associazione nazionale città del vino), holding the record as the first town in Sardinia to receive this title. Furthermore, Sennori is part of the National Association of Oil Cities (Associazione nazionale città dell'olio). These affiliations underscore the town's cultural identity as a significant center for wine and olive oil production, elements that continue to define the municipality's economic and cultural self-image in Romangia.

The culinary specialization of Sennori focuses primarily on viticulture and the production of edible oil. These two pillars of local agriculture are institutionally anchored through membership in respective national associations.
