  I believe they don't need a cross-pollinator and most people only grow one in a garden situation.    What you need are pollinators so make sure you have plenty of pollinator friendly plants near your grapevine and the bees, hoverflies and all the gang will visit.
  
  here's some info from the RHS on growing grapevines -

  and their list of pollinator friendly plants -
