Probably not many the first few years.. They must get rather tall to get lots. But we must be patient. good luck

We bought some grapes this year too. The packaging says to not train them at all the first year, then stake or put on trellis the second year, and you may get grapes the second or third year. DH is pessimistic about this endeavor and tells me we'll never see a grape. I told him if we did, he won't get so much as a drop of grape juice LOL (teasing of course!)
I tried to remember, but I said, "What's a flower?" You said, "I still love you..." (Dar Williams)~

Let them grow wild the first season but then you will need to prune them in the winter months every year after that for optimal production. There are a couple "styles" of pruning grapes depending on how it is staked / trellised. Since grapes are only produced on the buds from last year's growth you have to prune off about 90 % every year to keep the new growth semi near the roots. With proper pruning and fertilizing you can expect a bountiful harvest starting about the 3rd year and increasing thereafter.
