Bridal shower venues in Philly for gluten-free bride

Hi all,
I'm looking to plan a small (<25) shower in Philadelphia in early December for a gluten-free bride (she can't eat it, but it is not a severe allergy).

I am not familiar with the area, so am looking for your help! :)

Bride is not traditional, but family is picky (ie. not adventurous) when it comes to food. She is also a big wine fan, so wineries/wine bars would be great.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,
Claudia

    To report back: We ended up going with Jake's Wine bar in Manayunk. The food was great and the staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating... Would HIGHLY recommend!

      I recently came across Giorgio's On Pine and they had a Gluten Free menu with pasta, pizza and desserts. Food and service was very good and it's a BYOB.

        + 1 for Girogio on Pine, they also have a room up a small set of stairs that they can make semi-private and if it's lunch time, Ii've never really seen it that crowded. There is also a website listing all of the gluten-free restaurants in philly. Someone on here will have it, but probably can google gluten free-philadelphia.

            Cafe Estelle is on that list. If they would let you have the restaurant for an early afternoon meal (after they'd normally close) it would be really lovely. They do brunch/breakfast/lunch and are BYOB.

              An acquaintance of mine said she was having her (very small) wedding reception there so it seems they might accommodate the OP
