Am moving and would like to take two grape vine plants along.
If possible, what time of the year is the best time to transplant?

As long as they are dormant and ground is not frozen. Get a good root ball. Plant right away. If you leave it too late you will probably not get grapes this year. They are tough plants once established so you shouldn't have much difficulty with a successful transplant.
If you are not moving right away you can go around each plant with a spade, leaving the plant in the soil in preparation for last minute moving.

Usually the best time to transplant anything is in the spring. Just make sure you keep the roots wet when you move, and transplant them when it is not freezing outside. It depends on where you are moving to, and from. If you are in a cold area now, the plants should be dormant, so you should be ok to transplant them.

Don't forget to clip it back when you transplant it. And save your clippings. Put them in a rooting compound(most of them have directions on how to use them on the containers) and following directions, a few of them should grow into new plants. This way, if you do lose one, you should have another to replace it with. If you have several left over that you don't want you can likely trade them with neighbors for other plants from their gardens.

i always started another vine by cuttin of a young chute and putting in poting soil in a container, and kept it watered . when it got roots i transplanted it . always had good luck. you might want to cut several shutes in case one dies. if you dig up yje whole vine all you need is a few of the roots just stick them in the ground they will do good.

Transplanting can only been done during the months with a "r" in them if you want it to survive. So, in May, June, July, and August you don't transplant. Learnt this from my great grandma and it works.

grapevines do not need rooting compound, they will root without them. All you need is a dormant living clipping, bury it in the ground after the danger of frost has passed, that is how my family brought our grapes over from Italy... in the northeast US
