Where do you live?
What type of grapes do you want? Eating grapes or wine grapes?

Have you looked at seed catalogs? Do you want purple or white grapes? Are these for eating or just a foliage planting? What is your planting zone? So many unknowns to your question.

Go to the nearest commercial farm supply company and buy both red and green seedless grape seeds.
Make sure you ask for seedless grapes only.

Talk with your local USDA agent. He will have a good idea and will put you in touch with the local wine grape grower’s group.
A fun bunch of people.

I am in NE Ohio.
I want grapes mostly because the big dark leaves provide the best shade. If the grapes are yummy, that’s OK too.
I don’t know anything about growing grapes

You might want to try a Concord variety.

Where do you live? I know muscadines and scuppernongs do great down South. They have thicker skins so the bugs and critters don’t mess with them as much (A family friend has some and they are doing great.) The thinner skinned grapes that you often get at the grocery store may or may not do well, depending on where you live. Being more delicate and all, the bugs and critters really like to just eat them up. At least that’s what they did to ours. I want to plant muscadines and scuppernongs this year. I think they may do better for the area where I live (VA).

Well, I was thinking of that and I don’t want bugs. Other crawling vine type foliage would be OK but flowers would draw bees too.
The grape vines just look way better than anything else.

Grape vines are pretty. I remember seeing a nice house one time that had a huge grape arbour on the side of the house. It provided awesome shade, and you could just reach up and grab the grapes right above you if you so desired.
It seems your vines are more for aesthetic or landscaping purposes. Do you have a preference as to what color grapes you want? Concordes and certain Muscadines are a nice dark purple (and have thick skins). Scuppernongs are greenish bronze (They also have thick skins. They are a variety of muscadine). The above all taste great too. I am not sure how well they would do in Ohio, you would have to look it up. Those are just the types of vines I am most familiar with. :-)

You are not living up to your name. Your question should be: I live in xxxxx in the state of xxxx. I would like to grow eating grapes. What would you suggest?
My suggestion, if you want wine grapes is to find out what grapes are being raised by the wineries in your area.

We’re in Florida and have a grape arbor. Muscadines and scuppernongs are about all that’ll grow down here. We’ve found not a lot of folks like them, I think they’re an “acquired” taste. Fortunately, we have that acquired taste :)

When I was little, I went to my aunt's house and she had a beautiful grape arbor. It could be 110 degrees in the shade but way cool and shady under the arbor.
