Spring is a good time; just before bud break leaves a minimum amount of time for the scions or buds to dry out (a bad thing) and for disease (also bad) to get a foothold before the callus forms. Get some local advice, taking into account the local climate and your specific micro-climate - considering elevation, distance from large bodies of water, slope. A local nursery would be a good starting point and also a source of scions. Read all of this before you start: http://berrygrape.oregonstate.edu/fruitgrowing/grapes/graft/graft1.htm Ralph
