Has anyone stayed overnight at a winery near Mt. Etna? looking for feedback

We're oh-so-close to booking our trip to Sicily in October, and am trying to decide whether it would be charming and lovely to spend our first night in a winery near Mt. Etna, and then our next two nights in Taormina, or just stay in Taormina all three nights and do a day trip to Etna.

I know Slow travelers usually recommend against 1night stays, if anyone has stayed at Barone di Villagrande, or Tenuta Fessina, or Fischetti Wineray, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!
 
Barone di Villagrande

I've not stayed at Barone di Villagrande, but I've taken a pizza-making class there and drank their wines. A very lovely place with friendly staff! I imagine it would be a nice stay.

I will check when I get home tonight. Depending on our final trip dates, and whether we fly into CTA for mid-to-late afternoon, it might make good sense to plan a 2-nt stay anyway -- it's not terribly far from the airport and I can think of worse ways to ease into vacation and work off jet lag.

We love Siclian wines, and are big fans of Tenuta delle Terre Nerre Etna Rosso, but I don't believe we've ever had Villagrande wines.
