Although you will get some grapes by the third year, it generally takes 4-5 for a full crop to develop. That is if you care for them properly.

Growing grapes require that you pay attention to the important cultivation practices of maintaining soil fertility, weed control, and soil moisture conservation. During the first year, the soil is prepared for planting, cultivars are selected, and vines are planted, mulched, and fertilized. Weeds compete with grapevines for moisture, nutrients, and sunlight. Keep the area directly under the trellis weed-free. Care of vines the second year is similar to that of the first year. However, during the second season, a system for training the vines should be selected. Three years are normally required to establish a grape planting. During the third season, some harvest may be expected from the vines. The first full crop, however, will not be produced until about the fourth or fifth year. It takes a while to see the fruits of your labor when growing grapes, but it's worth it.

Growing grapes requires an adequate supply of essential plant nutrients. Apply about 8 ounces of fertilizer per plant seven days after planting. Increase the amount of fertilizer to 1 pound of fertilizer in the second year and 1.5 pounds per vine in the third and later years about 30 days before new growth begins in the spring. Don't concentrate fertilizer at the base of the trunk. Keep fertilizer 6 to 12 inches from the trunk and spread evenly under the spread of the vine. Because too much nitrogen may promote excessive vegetative growth and delay vine and fruit maturity, use a balanced fertilizer.

Water well. Growing Grapes require approximately 1 inch of water per week through the first growing season. Water plants every 7 to 10 days during dry weather.

Your vines are still pretty young to be producing much. If you have all the appropriate conditions, soil, sun, water, you may want to try shocking the plants into setting fruit. Early in the season when the vines are leafing out, beat on the stems or trunks of the grape vines. This trauma will tell the plant it needs to get it's act together and procreate 'cause something bad is happening. Sounds crazy but it works for most fruiting trees and shrubs. Just don't beat them to a pulp!

I recently asked the same question. If apparently takes a while before it sets fruit. Do you have any fruit stalks showing yet? Mine are just now producing and I've had it for several years. Actually, It's best not to do anything to them just prune them when necessary.
