Not sure how viable the seeds would be or whether they would be suitable for your area if they could be grown. Best bet for you is to wait until spring and visit your local garden store and find some old phart who knows how to grow stuff and get his advice on good strains for the geography then you can buy some already started plants of that genre. Drip irrigation works well on grape vines in the hot dry parts of the world. Its also very good if they have some type of support structure to grow on. Hog wire mounted on T posts works or if you want to get fancy a single tight stretched large bore steel cable works. That makes it where the birds dont have any place to perch while they eat the grapes. Means you get more grapes. That is how the big boys/girls do it.

Unless you live in a hot dry climate, (the best for grapes) then you need a variety that can handle rain and humidity. Also even grapes that are grafted selected varieties for your area, purchased from a nursery take 3 years to fruit. So from a seed, maybe 5 at least. Never heard of anyone planting them from seed. Most fruit planted from seed isnt "true to seed" so you never know after waiting years for your plant to fruit, if it will be anything like the grapes it came from. Or if it will be any good. Buy a cheap grape vine from a nursery this winter or spring if your somewhere cold. THeyre like 5 bucks.

hmmworth a shot
i take that back, just saw what you need to do to just germinate
"Try refrigerating for 90 to 120 days(1-5 deg C), followed by warm stratification at 30 to 36 deg C for 2 days then soak in 0.5M hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours, then germinate at 30 deg C with 12/12 hours light /dark. Well drained, moist potting soil or a home blend of 1:1:1 sand
eaterlite will work fine."

There's a lot more to the "grape family" than your standard seedless/seeded grocery store stuff.
IMO Muscadines. Scupodines and scupernogs are way better than grapes, and can take to harsher climate than grapes. you will want to start any seeds asap (you dont have to do all that shit to get seeds to sprout, the Scupodine vines in my back yard spread like wild fire by seed, and yes, the ones the I've allowed to mature took 3-5 years to fruit, but it is worth the wait!
