I have about 16' of metal grating that I want to grow vines on, and thought berries, or a combination of jasmine and berries would be nice. The space faces directly north, and only gets sun until about 10 AM. The rest of the day, only reflected sunlight.
What would be a good vining berry to plant on these? Is it advisable to mix the plants like that?

My own thoughts are to give up on the fruiting vine and just grow ivy. Many ivys suffer in the sun and would seem well suited to your limited light.
No personal experience here, beyond having a lot of english ivy! I'm only posting because I don't believe anyone has an answer, so you are getting questionable advice instead (just so you know)!

Kiwi came to mind but temps may be of issue.

I don't have any suggestions for fruiting vines, but I would caution against growing English ivy. Here in the Pacific northwest it's considered an invasive species:
No doubt why I have a lot of it!

nurseries here, but only one small town that is out to give you the right stuff, and not a lot of stuff you don't need or that is going to die. They have been there about 300 years, or a long time. I will ask them, but I like to ask here to get a little wider look.
