Yes, they will grow. But, you must prune them and I would eliminate the misters. These will create moisture in the shade, so downy and powdery mildew may form.

There are Yahoo groups for Grape growing. You will find lots of help there. Grapes really like full sun and lots of air movement. Once you learn how to prune them, they will produce. Otherwise they will grow wild with little fruit production. All of the plant energy goes into production of vegetative mass and root development. The best grapes need to struggle.

Many grapes are have imprefect flowers, so it may be a matter of determining the sex of your plants to make sure that you have both male and female. Wild Riparia grape plants are this way.
