The media personality attended with her partner, the winner of the 2016 Bachelorette, Lee Elliott.
She has enthusiastically gone along to the past eight iterations of Festivale.
"I love it so much - I moved down from Melbourne years ago, and this was always the weekend my family would come and visit me, so it became a bit of a tradition," she said.
"Then since I've moved I've kept that tradition going, because it's actually my favourite weekend of the whole year.
"The spirit of everyone coming out, I feel like the whole city gets around it, you see everyone you know, the environment is so nice and the food and the wine is so good - I love it."

Dressed in plastic rain ponchos, Festivale-goers Sharon Rice, Michelle Wells, and Janine McDonald said the weather would only add to the fun.
"So far so good - and we're just getting started," Ms Wells said.
"We'll dance in the rain, we don't care," Ms Rice said.
"As long as we can get a refill," Ms McDonald said.
The three friends said they were most looking forward to Vanessa Amorosi, the headline performer on Saturday night.
At the Mount Gnomon Farm stall, chef Madjid Babour was keeping warm behind the barbecue.
He said the rain presented a challenge for the outdoor cooking apparatus, but "we can manage it".
"We've done it before - it's Tasmania, so we're ready to be operating even if the weather turns bad," he said.
Plenty of customers were still lining up for the stall's most popular dish: the 'Saddle Plate', with chorizo, chicken, artisinal sausage, potato salad, and grilled pumpkin and zucchini.
The final day of Festivale, Sunday, is headlined by the Whitlams playing at 2.45pm, and Russell Morris at 1pm, along with food and beverage stallholders from across Tasmania.
No matter the weather it was sure to be a great time, Ms Love said.
"This is the first time it's rained [that I've been here] - so that's a bit disappointing - but I'm still here with a smile on my face and a Jansz in my hand," she laughed.
A medium chance of showers is predicted for Sunday, with a maximum of 21 and a minimum of 11.
